2021-08-0142 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsWhat, Exactly, Is an Elect Exile? – 1 Peter 1:3-9Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
One of the colorful aspects of human language is the creation of phrases which, based on their individual parts, should make absolutely no sense, but end up being richly descriptive. I’m talking about oxymorons like jumbo shrimp, poor health, and random order! In 1 Peter 1:1, the Apostle offers his own creative phrase to describe God’s people, “elect exiles”. Needless to say, these aren’t words we would naturally join together if it were up to us to describe God’s people, but Peter does just that.
In 1 Peter 1:3-9, Peter begins to answer th...2021-06-2735 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsA Scandal in Bethlehem! – Ruth 3:1-18Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
Ruth 3 is tantalizing in the details which it chooses to include, and maddening in the details which it chooses to leave out! Much like the village gossips in Bethlehem in Ruth’s day, modern readers are often left asking, “What exactly happened at the threshing floor between Boaz and Ruth?” By all appearances, there seems to be a scandal in Bethlehem.
As we engage with Ruth 3 together this Sunday morning, we’re going to have to live with a bit of tension. On the one hand, the book of Ruth presents Ruth’s characte...2021-05-2329 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsPart 2 – God’s Kingdom Upside-Down – Genesis 2:16-17Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
Often in Christian circles we talk about God’s Upside-Down Kingdom. By this we typically mean that God’s ways are not our ways, and that the priorities and ethics of God’s kingdom sometimes seem backward to us. As those living in a fallen world, however, we occasionally need the reminder that we are the ones who are upside-down, not God!
This Sunday morning, we will continue our occasional preaching series The Story of God’s Mission: Key Biblical Texts to Know and Share in God’s Mission. In this series, we are foc...2021-04-1835 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsThey Devoted Themselves to the Prayers – Acts 2:41-47; 12:1-24Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
I can still vividly remember my professor in Bible College proclaiming, “Prayer is the most dangerous activity God’s people can participate in.” So often, however, the motivation to devote myself to prayer is severely lacking in my own life. Far from seeming like a “dangerous activity”, prayer often seems powerless and passive.
In Acts 2:42 we learn that the early believers in the church “devoted themselves to the prayers” in the aftermath of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. By the time we get to Acts 12:1, the situation facing the church is dras...2021-02-0742 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsCain and Abel – Genesis 4:17-26Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
2021-01-1735 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsGreat Joy for All the People? – Psalm 2Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
We’ve all seen images from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1953. An estimated three million of Elizabeth’s subjects descended on London hoping to catch a glimpse of their soon-to-be Queen. Certainly, much optimism and hope for days ahead was shared by Elizabeth’s people as they celebrated their new monarch taking the throne.
While the birth of a future monarch or the coronation of a king or queen is typically an occasion for joy and celebration, this isn’t always the case. For those who would fancy themselv...2020-12-1336 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsThe Church: A Faithful Gospel Witness (Part 4) – Acts 2:42-47Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
There are many “ingredients” which could make an ordinary meal into an extraordinary one. Excellent food, a talented or famous chef, a beautiful location, and meaningful company could all contribute to elevating an average meal to an exceptional one.
It may come as a surprise that the Bible shows God is concerned that our ordinary meals be transformed into extraordinary meals. But God’s “ingredients” for these extraordinary meals are quite different from what we might expect culturally.

Many of us have wondered how we might spend our time if we were given a diagnosis which left us with only a few months to live. Would we travel to exotic places we’ve always dreamed of visiting? Would we methodically check items off our “bucket list”? Would we spend as much time as possible with friends and family? Would we quietly go about our lives as if nothing had changed?
In 1 John 2:15-29, the Apostle John shockingly lets his readers (and us) know that on the stage of history “it’s the last...2020-09-2738 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsThe Downcast Soul’s Catechism – Psalm 42:1-11Speaker: Peter Stonecipher
In some comments on Psalm 42 (especially verses 5 and 11), Pastor Martyn Lloyd-Jones says, “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?…The main art in the matter of spiritual living is to know how to handle yourself. You have to take yourself in hand, you have to address yourself, preach to yourself, question yourself.”
Throughout church history, many Christians have practiced this art of “talking to yourself” by memorizing a series of questions and responses (called cat...2020-07-1941 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsPart 36 – Problems with Authority (and Solutions!) – Matthew 21:1-32Speaker: Peter Stonecipher

In a book on pastoral ministry, Eugene Peterson writes, “American pastors are abandoning their posts, left and right, and at an alarming rate. They are not leaving their churches and getting other jobs. Congregations still pay their salaries. Their names remain on the church stationery and they continue to appear in pulpits on Sundays. But they are abandoning their posts, their calling. They have gone whoring after other gods. What they do with their time under the guise of pastoral ministry hasn’t the remotest connection with what the church’s pastors have done for mo...2019-08-0458 minGulf Coast Community Church - Sunday SermonsIn Every Way Jesus Is Superior (Part 11) – Hebrews 10:19-39Speaker: Peter Stonecipher

A recent ad campaign by a wireless provider wants to challenge the savvy consumer that “Just okay is not okay” when it comes to picking a wireless plan! The author of the book of Hebrews has a much more serious concern in mind when he challenges us that there comes a time When Good isn’t Good Enough in Hebrews 4:14-5:10. A good high priest isn’t good enough on the day when we will stand before God’s throne of judgment, only Jesus the Superior High Priest will do.
